Started the process on April 2020 for skylights. Got several estimates and looked up reputations and reviews of all the potential company s and decided Allstate. They were not the cheapest but close to the other quotes. Andrew was my rep and was very knowledgeable about the products. We ended up getting two Velux solar skylights 24x63. Delays with the product during Covid-19, and a slight problem with communications that got cleared up quickly. Window Installation was scheduled and they showed up timely. The Installers changed the plan with our permission from two south solar skylights to one on North and one on south peak West side of house. The change made the one that was to go on the East part of house would have been too close to the fireplace. We could have still gone with original plan but agreed with the balance of windows on the roof/ceiling. Our choice for skylights was to add light to our kitchen/family room/living room due to lack of light later in the day. Our covered porch takes away from available light after morning. And the kitchen always needed lightening even during daylight hours. Now there is so much light for the areas under the lights that we no longer need artificial light until dark. Even not so sunny days produces enough light to eliminate the need for that artificial light.

Then the trim team scheduled a date and were timely and super talented. We have pine ting and groove walls and ceilings. They matched that style wood and did such a great job with the wood work. I am waiting to stain and poly the wood as a winter project. I wanted to choose the color, lighter than the walls and ceiling so that it maximizes the light.

They insulated the area (attic space) when the wi Dow are now. All part of energy efficiency.

Remote solar blinds for those sunny days. We don t want the days heat brought inside. They also open with a rain sense that closes the window on rainy weather. The extra air flow during this summer was helpful keeping the house cooler. Great feature and worth the extra money for these blinds and to open the window (with a screen of course).

So happy with the final job. Professional workmanship, guaranteed with a warrenty for 10 years and is leak free.

I recommend Allstate workmanship and hope the price is one you can afford. Let s face it, price is a big factor and Allstate was with one other estimate close enough to be selected.

Solar gives us a tax break of I believe 16% at tax time as well
